Alcoholism - is anyone here an alcoholic or love one of an alcoholic?

Tweet

My husband is an alcoholic. He has been sober for 3 1/2 years. I have a friend who is struggling right now with her husband who is an alcoholic but isn't in recovery. I told her that it wasn't until I "let go" and almost "stopped caring" about my husband's drinking that he sobered up. Anyone else have experiences to share?
